My prayers and sympathy to all her family. I first met Mrs Henderson in 1972 as she was my first nursing supervisorWhen I was a new nurse on my first job at Ochsner HospitalYears later I would come to live down the street from her son andDaughter in law and know many years of friendship no matterThe distance. God is good to have let me see and talk with her one last time at Marks wedding last month. She left her mark with me and now May she be at rest in heaven. One of Gods blessings.Elonide DaGian 4/24/17
